I read Abby’s wedsite at work, I am Dr. Wyatt’s nurse, and our good friends, John and Ann Graham, who we met at WWME 10 years ago sent us Abby’s site. We will surely pray for her stability, and may the Lord continue to circle friends near and far to pray for all of you. With love, The Dubrovin’s

Comments: We continue to pray for Abby’s recovery. You are all in our thoughts and prayers everyday. May God continue to provide your family and Abby with the necessary strength and support during this incredibly difficult time.
